Six Thousand Miles to Home

In 1939, as Hitler's forces close in on Poland, the prosperous Jewish Kohn family—Julius, Josefina, and their teenage children, Peter and Suzanna—embarks on a perilous 6,000-mile journey to escape the approaching tyranny. Captured by the Soviets after fleeing, they endure 18 harrowing months in a labor camp, facing grim conditions and the constant threat of death. Their odyssey continues through war-torn landscapes from Russia to Persia, where they grapple with their new identity as impoverished refugees in search of hope, generosity, and love amidst chaos. Juliet Stevenson narrates this powerful tale of resilience and family bonds during a time of unimaginable turmoil.
